Hyperinflation shows its head again on Doomsday Preppers. While I have gone on report before with recent examples of hyperinflation that were not accountable for mass worry, those instances were dependent on the rest of the world maintaining comparable harmony. The latest instances were fairly small countries in South America and Eastern Europe, a small percentage of the world economic climate. In case of the US dollar declining, 26% of the world economy will be in danger at least, which would be much more difficult to contain.
2. Sugar for survival?
Hopefully by this point I was capable to reveal the various factors that show why sugar isn't a good idea for a survival food. A diet plan intensely based on sugar and other carbohydrates would damage Pat's insulin sensitivity with time, make his hunger harder to manage, and result in his body to cannibalize muscle in case he had to decrease calories. Awful idea all around.
3. Trading with Alcohol
The thought of alcohol as a medium for exchange is interesting as it is a top grade, non-perishable product with built in value. In the event of an infrastructure failure it will be difficult to acquire alcohol from different areas of the country. Besides people who like alcohol, there are those who want it to deal with stress, and people who are physically addicted. This would make alcohol, cigarettes as well as other narcotics, prime commodities in case of a collapse.
But if I were buying alcohol, I might invest in something that improves with time. Liquor in a glass bottle doesn't age, more or less, while something such as a cask of whiskey in the barrel wouldn't just keep but boost in value as time pass by . On the other hand I perhaps drink far more scotch in comparison to Mr. Brabble.
4. Gun supply
There is certainly a stage of diminishing returns on the quantity of guns that Pat possesses. Apart from people trying to form an individual militia or arm their friends and family, practically nobody can justify possessing this many firearms for survival purposes. If they prefer to acquire guns for fun or as a hobby, that's one thing. However as the amount of guns increases, the utility is reduced and may also become harmful.
The quantity of weapons that Pat has require several types of ammunition. Unless he focused especially on consolidating to the most in-demand calibres of ammunition, the library of cartridges would get more complicated, making things difficult if there was ever a fight or a reason to bug out. Furthermore, there is only a lot of attention that may be given to how to properly function and keep a gun collection. If he had only 5 guns to concentrate on rather than 100 and was spending the same amounts of attention, he would have 20 times as much practice cleaning, assembling and shooting with each and every one.
